Hot buttered toast is now a butter sandwich. I hate it

He said that deep inside they always knew what they were doing was wrong but they could never step up and do the right thing during this 18 years. Why not? They thought that changing the dynamic would negatively affect my sister as she’s now used to being offered more time and resources and I’m used to not getting it, so making it more equal would be a luxury for me and a pain for her. They thought that’s not fair for my sister to be in pain for the sake of my luxury. Again, their logic. I don’t even know what to say to that.

Ever since I left, mom and dad are having trouble. My sister is off to college and they’re alone now with all the time in the world to think about what they did. They’ve been to marriage counselling and according to him that has helped them see everything clearly now and see how cruel they were to me.

He says they want to start over and make up for all of it if I’m prepared to allow them.

This is quite shocking for me. This explains a lot about why my childhood turned out the way it did. I’m going to be honest. I wished they had given me away for adoption. I really really do. I could have been with adoptive parents who really wanted me rather than with biological parents who never did.

I still don’t believe that they have changed though, this can be the result of my sister (their golden child) being away and not spending as much time with them and them trying to replace her with me. I don’t want to do that at all but I don’t know. I’ve got to talk to my therapist.

Please give me your opinions again. You guys were so useful to me last time. Your help means a lot.

tl;dr: Dad opened up about how they wanted to put me for adoption and they couldn’t find a couple to agree to separate twin sisters. That turned out to how they decided to treat me during my childhood. They say they’re getting counselling and see the wrong in them and want to make up for it now.

THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT THE OOP

I second Varusteleka. Great quality and most of their Särmä line is manufactured in Europe

Granted. A floating hotdog appears in front of you.

This is my favourite Monkey’s Paw yet
